LITTLE ROCK (AP) -- Stan Heath was fired Monday after five seasons as basketball coach of the Razorbacks. Arkansas made the NCAA tournament thanks to a late-season run, but that was not enough to save Heath's job. The Razorbacks (21-14) lost 77-60 to Southern California in the first round.

Arkansas spokesman Kevin Trainor said Heath and athletic director Frank Broyles met Monday morning, and Broyles informed Heath of the decision.

After Heath led Kent State to the round of eight in the NCAA tournament in 2001, he took over at Arkansas in 2002 after Nolan Richardson was fired. The Razorbacks missed the tournament his first three seasons but made it in 2006 and 2007, losing in the first round each time.
